There is a time to break down and a time to build up-and UNC will be doing a great dealof both over the next five years.With the passage of the $3.1 billion higher edu-cation bond package-$499 million of which isdesignated for Carolina-many of the oldest andmost decrepit buildings on campus will be reno-vated and some demolished. Accessibility will be aprime concern in making these changes, says PeterKrawchyk, architect and program director for bar-rier removal projects at UNC's Division of Facili-ties Services.However, the bond money alone will not beenough to make the campus fully accessible.Although many of the worst offenders are on thelist of bond beneficiaries, others, such as SouthBuilding, are not. To pay for these changes, the N.C.General Assembly has been giving the Universityfunds earmarked for barrier removal projects. Forthe past two years, UNC has received $1 million ayear for that purpose; in 2000, due to the expectedpassage of the bond referendum, it received$450,000.Krawchyk identifies priorities and works withUNC's Disabilities Advisory Committee to decidehow to spend these funds-a choice that he saysamounts to completing "either a lot of a little orone elevator a year." Currently, he says, there are75 barrier-removal projects under way that cantake from a month to more than a year to com-plete, depending on the project."The list onlyseems to grow. It doesn't seem to reduce at all,"he said.Krawchyk considers things such as how tomake sure a construction site isn't overly disrup-tive and how to ensure that adding modern fea-tures to old buildings doesn't undermine the build-ing's charm."We definitely take into account the characterof the building" when making changes, Krawchyksaid. Using new building materials that match theexisting structure both inside and outside, he said,keeps the new from overwhelming the old."Wealso use landscaping to try and make it blend in."
